Whether you’re a new handgun owner or an experienced shooter, one of the best reasons for buying a handgun is to defend your home. Be sure to attend ADTA’s FREE “Home Defense” workshops. Learn how to store your handgun safely and how to use it skillfully, so when you hear that bump in the night, you’ll know what to do!

Event Highlights:

This month focuses on the Interior of your home:

Defensive equipment and storage

Examples of setting up "safe rooms"

Gun storage throughout house

How to run security drills with your family

After the presentation, we'll run through shoot-on-the-move exercises using SIRT laser training pistols. These are basic skills necessary for defending your home skillfully and safely.

Firearm Safety Protocol:

ADTA Range Safety Officers (RSOs) will be present to check you in at the door.

If you are a concealed pistol license holder, you are of course welcome to do so responsibly at our events.

At most of our workshops we encourage our attendees to actively participate in exercises or scenarios.

For everyone's safety, we require that active workshop participants not be carrying a loaded firearm.

For everyone's safety, handling of firearms is not permitted during ADTA workshop events except by the supervised, specific direction of an ADTA official.

Our ADTA Range Safety Officers will be present to help all attendees unload and clear any firearms prior to participating.

If you are participating in the workshop, you may also secure and lock your own firearm in your vehicle prior to entering the workshop venue.

This protocol must be followed for everyone's safety.

Have a question about ADTA membership, events, or activities? Many ADTA members are available both before and after the presentation to help. Just look for our members wearing ADTA hats and shirts.
